🤯 Up since 5AM. I don’t think that’s how it should work though, as that’s 2AM back home. Time to have that “How time zones work” talk with my body, I guess…
🧸 Things I never thought I’d do: run through the streets of Istanbul in the night, looking for Chouriço, the plush dog tinyMovieStar adores since she was born.
RIP Chouriço.
🇹🇷 It’s still #caturday, and Istanbul is a city of cats too!
So many of them all over, and all are super friendly.
🍕 And, as we’re in Istanbul, I picked up a couple of pizza pies from a restaurant next door, and we ate them in the empty terrace (only breakfast is served there, but they were nice).
🍺 Everything is fine. Just found out there’s an Efes Xtra (7.5%)! ₺60 at the convenience store! Yay.
☕️ I’ve got the photo for my next coffee-a-thon!
Or maybe I should have waited until I had one from Turkish coffee… Hmmmm…

⏰ Fever + three hour difference = well past noon, and we’re still waiting for tinyMovieStar to wake up.
🦄 As usual, photos are shared as Instagram stories. More, faster, but temporary only. Same username over there…
He’s back!
"Woah, 25 Days of omg.lol is back! Of course, it’s already December 2 in many parts of the world as I write this, and I’m just now getting around to writing this post for December 1. Not off to a great start, but better late than never?"
🚀 25 Days of omg.lol · 2023, Day 1
🇹🇷 Late arrival. Just enough time to run out, grab a bite, and back to the hotel.
😢 RIP Elliott Erwitt. If there is a master, he is it.
🃏 We Made It
🇹🇷 👧🏻
🇹🇷 Boarding…
📚 I was missing something, woke up a few minutes earlier to take care of it.
👋🏼 Ready to Go https://maique.eu/2023/12/01/ready-to-go.html
🧸 Holafly eSIM has been bought. Backpacks are almost ready. Now stuffing iPad full of Bluey episodes.
🏨 Istanbul hotel reservation: check. Airport transfer confirmation: check.
movieStar took care of both of these, while I drove home with a sleeping toddler, and HemisphericViews playing. Still raining.
🌧️ Mercury Weather’s trip feature is great. Also has a handy widget.
⌚️ Seriously considering taking the Apple Watch along on the trip. That would be a first, not having a mechanical one tagging along…
